ANKARA, November 26 (RIA Novosti) – NATO officials will start surveying sites along the Turkey-Syria border on Tuesday for possible deployment of Patriot air defense systems, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement.

The NATO delegation includes 30 experts from the United States, Germany and the Netherlands, all of whom have Patriots in their arsenals.

The Turkish General Staff said that the Patriot missile systems will not be used to establish a no-fly zone or to conduct offensive operations, but only “against an air or missile threat from Syria,” the Hurriyet daily said, citing the statement.

“The regions the Patriot systems would be deployed to and the number of foreign personnel that will be assigned to them will be be based on the NATO delegation’s site-survey,” the statement said.

Turkey, a NATO member, has requested the deployment of Patriot missiles on its territory, saying the anti-missile system is necessary to protect its 900-km border with conflict-torn Syria.

Among the most possible sites for the Patriot deployment are Diyarbakir, Urfa and Malatya in southeastern Turkey. Hurriyet said up to 300 military personnel will be needed to service the Patriot batteries.

Syria has condemned the Patriot missile plan in Turkey as “another act of provocation.” Russia has warned that the move could trigger a regional crisis. NATO maintained that the missiles would be placed for defensive purposes only.

US Patriot surface-to-air missiles were last deployed to Turkey in 1991 and 2003, during the two Gulf Wars, to protect the country from Saddam Hussein’s Scud missiles.

Turkey has fired artilllery salvos across its border with Syria several times in recent weeks in retaliation for Syrian shelling, which killed five Turkish civilians in October. It has also provided shelter to refugees fleeing the violence in Syria and has been one of President Bashar al-Assad’s harshest critics during the almost 17-month revolt against his rule.

Tensions between Turkey and Syria flared dangerously this summer after Damascus shot down a Turkish fighter that had violated its airspace. Turkey threatened retaliation if there was any repeat of the incident, although it admitted the plane had mistakenly strayed slightly into Syria.

IRIB- Les manœuvres conjointes Azerbaïdjan-Turquie-Géorgie ont commencé, le lundi 26 novembre, à Ankara.
Selon le site officiel de l’armée turque, ces manœuvres conjointes, baptisées «Aigles du Caucase» se dérouleront, pendant une semaine, pour finir le 3 décembre 2012. L’armée turque a annoncé, dans un communiqué, que les manœuvres «Aigles du Caucase» s'inscrivaient dans le cadre des coopérations militaires conjointes qu’entretenaient Bakou, Ankara et Tbilissi. Ces manœuvres, qui visent à instruire le rétablissement de la sécurité, réunissent les forces des opérations spéciales turques, azerbaïdjanaises et géorgiennes. Il est à rappeler que des exercices similaires ont eu lieu, au mois de septembre, sur le territoire turc. Les manœuvres «Aigles du Caucase» ont pour objectif d’instruire comment assurer la sécurité des oléoducs transférant le brut, depuis la République d’Azerbaïdjan, vers la Turquie. Les responsables turcs, géorgiens et azerbaïdjanais, ainsi que les forces spéciales de ces trois pays, organisent, en permanence, des exercices militaires, pour assurer la sécurité de l’oléoduc Bakou-Tbilissi-Ceyhan. Ces trois pays cherchent à montrer, dans quelle mesure, ils sont capables d’assurer la sécurité des oléoducs et des gazoducs, qui transfèrent gaz et pétrole, vers les consommateurs européens. Ceci dit, malgré la nature politique de l’oléoduc azerbaïdjanais, les gouvernements de ces trois pays essaient de faire croire qu’il est sécurisé. Ce, alors que tous les gazoducs et oléoducs, qui traversent le Sud-Est de la Turquie, ont, fréquemment, des problèmes. En vérité, lorsque le gouvernement turc n’entretient pas de bonnes relations avec les Kurdes, tous les pipelines, qui traversent son territoire, sont menacés.

Malgré les avertissements des experts pétroliers, la République d’Azerbaïdjan a préféré le chemin politique Bakou-Tbilissi-Ceyhan aux itinéraires économiques existant dans la région, et elle a commencé à construire ce trajet, en tant quitinéraire le plus important du transfert du pétrole et du gaz azerbaïdjanais vers les marchés mondiaux. Les responsables azerbaïdjanais insistaient, toujours, sur la diversité des itinéraires de transfert du gaz et du brut azerbaïdjanais, pourtant, sous la pression des Etats-Unis et de la Grande-Bretagne, ils entendent, à présent, supprimer la voie Bakou-Novorossiysk. Dans une telle conjoncture, l’intention des dirigeants turc, géorgien et azerbaïdjanais d’assurer la sécurité des pipelines, les a poussés à organiser des exercices militaires conjoints. L’Assemblée nationale azérie vient de donner son feu vert à la construction du gazoduc Transanatolien, censé transférer le gaz azéri vers la Turquie. Ce gazoduc, qui permettra l’exportation du gaz azerbaïdjanais vers l’Europe, via la Géorgie et la Turquie, coûterait entre cinq et sept milliards de dollars. C’est, dans ce contexte, que la République d’Azerbaïdjan, la Géorgie et la Turquie entretiennent les coopérations militaires et dépensent une grosse somme, afin de pouvoir assurer la sécurité de cet itinéraire politique.

Turkish Military to Expel Gays

Tuesday, 27 November 2012
A new discipline regulation draft for the Turkish Armed Forces reveals a new guise for an old practice against gays in military posts.

According to media reports, homosexuality has been included as a major offense in the new discipline regulation draft of the Turkish Armed Forces. The punishment for offenders of the “crime,” which was defined as “unnatural intimacy” in the draft, will be expulsion from the military.

However, gay rights activists say the termination of contract practice has long been in place, although this is the first time it is clearly referred to in the discipline regulation.

Reactions
LGBT associations have harshly criticized the new change, labeling it discriminatory and a violation of human rights.

Ali Erol from KaosGL, an Ankara-based LGBT association, told the Hürriyet Daily News yesterday the practice was not new apart from its wording. Noting a fundamental contradiction in the military attitude against homosexuality as a whole, Erol said the army practiced a dual policy.

“When it is the case of mandatory military service, a gay person is considered sick and held exempt from military service. The military defines homosexuality as a psychosexual disorder. But when a member of the military staff is homosexual, he is considered guilty of a disciplinary crime. This is discrimination on a double scale.”

Erol also said the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) had decided against Turkey’s discriminatory practices many times and if this new regulation was enacted to prevent further lawsuits, it would fail. “The ECHR ruling is clear. A person’s sexual orientation cannot be considered nor treated as a crime, and any practice that suggests this would be labeled as sexual orientation discrimination. This term is not referred to in our legal framework, unfortunately; it is acknowledged by the EHCR and any future lawsuit about the practice will be treated as before.”

4 Frigates on Line for Turkish Navy

Turkey has chosen an ambitious project to follow the building of eight corvettes: this time the production of four fair defense frigates worth around $4 billion dollars, the largest ships in the inventory of the country’s Navy. A statement on the website of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) on Nov. 22 cited the need to procure air defense frigates for the Navy that would provide defense against the classical and modern munitions fired by aircraft and other platforms, command and control, early warning, reconnaissance, surface warfare, underwater warfare and electronic warfare and air defense warfare. It said the feasibility studies of the frigates had been completed and a “project model” would now be devised for the frigates to be procured. The model is expected to be a manufacture model by a private naval shipyard, but the complexity of the frigate would probably need the contributions of a foreign company. The TF2000 project, as the name implies, was designed before 2000, but was delayed due to financial limitations at the time. Procurement officials now say that especially after the completion of the Milgem project - the first naval project for the building of eight corvettes - the time is ripe for the design of the first Turkish frigate. Corvettes are the smallest of warships, and Turkey, which does not have coasts on oceans, has plenty of corvettes and frigates, but no larger warships, like destroyers or cruisers. When Turkey’s top decision-making body on arms procurement meets later this year it should select between the companies RMK and Dearsan to build the third through the eighth of the country’s multibillion dollar program to build eight new corvettes, believed to cost $1.5 billion. “The Milgem has been very useful from the point of design, development and construction of a national ship, and we are going to build on this experience to obtain the capability to build bigger warships,” one procurement official said. The first and the second ships under Turkey’s Milgem program have already been built by military shipyards and the rest of the ships will be constructed by a private shipyard. The TCG Heybeliada, the first of the Milgem ships, has entered service in the Navy and the TSC Buyukada, the second, has been put to sea. “We can produce 70 or 80 percent of all the needs of the Navy. The sole exceptions are submarines and engines, and we are moving with concrete steps on that,” the procurement official said. Turkey presently can also produce a New Type Patrol Boat, Coast Guard Research and Rescue Boat and Tank Landing Ships, the procurement official said. Separately, a 2 billion-euro submarine deal between SSM and Germany’s HDW shipyards for joint manufacture of six modern U-214 diesel platforms for the Turkish Navy formally took effect in July 2010. “This will be the last submarine we will be building with someone else,” the procurement official said. In a less orthodox project, Ankara has plans to a buy a landing platform dock, or LPD, a vessel that looks like a helicopter carrier and can transport up to a battalion-sized unit (more than 1,000 troops) long distances. Turkey plans to use this ship for NATO-related missions to carry troops or refugees. According to its size and capabilities, the Turkish LPD will cost between $1 billion and $1.5 billion. Presently, the Turkish Navy has nearly 49,000 personnel and 75 aircraft, 17 frigates, seven corvettes, 14 submarines and 27 fast missile boats.

ANKARA, December 3 (RIA Novosti) – NATO military experts have selected sites for the deployment of at least three Patriot air defense systems along Turkey's border with Syria, local media reported on Monday.

NATO member Turkey formally requested Patriot missiles from the military alliance after weeks of talks with NATO allies about how to shore up security on its 900-kilometer (560 mile) border. Syria is believed to have several hundred surface-to-surface missiles capable of carrying chemical warheads.

Damascus has repeatedly stated that it would not use chemical weapons against its own people, but could deploy them to thwart "external aggression."

According to NATO sources cited by Turkey’s private NTV television network, Germany has agreed to provide Ankara with two Patriot PAC-3 systems, while the Netherlands will deliver one Patriot PAC-2 missile system.

The missiles will be deployed within a triangular area including the provinces of Gaziantep, Malatya and Diyarbakır in southern and eastern Turkey, CNN-Turk reported.

Their deployment is expected to be formally approved during a ministerial meeting of the 28 NATO allies in Brussels on December 4-5.

US Patriot surface-to-air missiles were deployed to Turkey in 1991 and 2003, during the two Gulf Wars. At that time the missiles were provided by the Netherlands.

Russia has repeatedly voiced concern about plans to deploy Patriot missiles on Turkey's border with Syria, although Moscow avoided directly criticizing Turkey.

Russia believes the deployment would mean the direct involvement of NATO forces in the Syrian conflict, further undermining the already unstable situation in the region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will raise the issue at a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his current visit to Turkey, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

L'armée turque appuyée par des hélicoptères a bombardé des positions des rebelles kurdes du PKK près de la frontière syrienne, tuant treize combattants et en capturant cinq autres, rapportent les services du gouverneur de la région d'Osmaniye.

L'offensive a été lancée lundi dans la partie occidentale de la Turquie, loin de l'habituelle zone de combat entre les troupes turques et les insurgés kurdes le long des frontières avec l'Irak et l'Iran.

L'intervention a été décidée sur la base d'informations des services de renseignement signalant la présence de membres du Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan dans la région. L'opération se poursuivait mercredi, a précisé le gouvernement provincial.

Ankara estime que le regain de violences commises par le PKK depuis cet été est lié à la situation en Syrie et accuse le président Bachar al Assad de soutenir et d'armer les insurgés.
